AHQTHER COMPETITOR.
; Yesterday we published an article
on the restriction of the cotton acre
age in the South, in which good and
sufficient reasons were given by the
writer why the acreage should be
limited, sojimited that the produc
tion in this - country t added to the
prod notion in other countries, would
not exceed the world's demand for
consumption, which is now about
14,000,090 bales. There was much
in the letter which we published to
interest cotton growers who think as
" well as work, and so is there in the
following, although it makes no
reference to Southern cotton acre
age, which we clip from the New
York Commercial: .
"Modern eogineers suggested to the
Egyptian Government that if a dam
were to be built a little way south of
Cairo, so as to provide a storage reser
voir, then all tbe delta country of the
Nile could relj upon the irrigation as
certainly as it could upon the rising
and setting of the sua. Taat work waa
undertaken, and experience has shown
that tbe eogineers predicted with a ecu
racy. ,
"With storage reservoirs large
enough to secure certain irrigation
every year for the enormous valley of
the Nile, then that most fertile terri
tory becomes a certain and vast pro
ducer of agricultural products, the
command of which will be of almost
inestimable advantages to Qreat Brit
ain in tbe struggle for commercial su
premacy wbich is now beginning.
"Already Egypt raises one tenth of
the cotton supply of the world, and it
is a kind of cotton which has advan
tages recognized by every manufac
turer, especially of cotton thread. It
is the long staple cotton, and expect
ing upon our sea islands we raise very
little cotton of that character. .
With permanent irrigation and with,
modern methods and modern agricul
tural implements there seems to be no
reason wby Egypt should not in the
near future raiaa a majority of the cot
ton which the Eoglian manufacturers
need. Undoubtedly it was that which
has induced the British statesmen and
financiers with the earnest encourge
ment of the manufacturers, to aid
Eypgt in financing these public works,
i Eagland sees a colony practically
as near to her aa are the cotton fields
of the United States providing for her
a staple article for which she has been
in great measure dependent upon the
United States. With a better oualitv
of cotton, with the exception that sbe
cao get it to the doors of her minu
facturers at less cost than American
cotton. Great Britain sees in tbe de
velopment of the immense Nile Val
ley by the cotton growers an oppor
tunity to get tbe mastery of what is to
be one of the great features of tbe
world's trade tbe cotton goods mar
ket." .
We have been supplying English
manufacturers with about 4,000,000
bales of American cotton, about one
half the" ordinary crop. It was to
make England independent of this
country for her cotton supply that
prospect ' before' him the' 3onthef u
cotton grower should be putting
himself in a position to meet the
future by dividing his acres so as
to raise I less cotton and more of
other things to make him indepen
dent of cotton? And doesn't it
seem that it should be his policy to
grow more cotton to the acre than
he has been raising, thus rednoing
the cost of production and . being"
better able to meet competition
from other quarters, and also en
able our manufacturers, upon whom
he must eventuallydepend, to suc
cessfully compete with their Eng
lish and other rivals, who draw
their supplies of raw material from
the Egyptian, Southern Siberian and,
Indian fields?
- There was a time when it looked
as if the cotton manufacturing in
dustry of England might be trans
ferred to this side of, the ocean, bnt
there is no longer any probability
of that if -this new Egyptian field
meets the expectations of the Eng
lish manufacturers, but instead of
that they will be. in a better posi
tion to compete with American,
manufacturers than they have been
since confronted with American
competition.
Bat this is not all for there is the
Southern Siberian field capable of
an immense production of cotton,
the cultivation of ' which is being
fostered and stimulated by the Gov
ernment. The production in that
region has increased so muoh within
the past few years that the Russian
mills, which halve largely increased
in nnmber within the same time,
are now practioaly independent of
other countries for their supplies of
cotton. And yet cotton-growing is
bnt in its infancy in that vast do
main. -Here, then we have the new ter
ritory in Northern Africa, and the
new territory in Southern Siberia
as competitors of the Southern cot
growers, to supply the cotton for
which the European mills depended
almost altogether upon our South
ern fields. There is a condition
confronting the American', cotton
growers which he must consider if
he would follow cotton growing as a
business and expect to get pay for
his time and labor. The sooner he
seriously considers this condition
and regulates the crops of his acres
so as not to be dependent upon cot
ton the better it will be for him and
for the Sonth.

fertile as it is said to be it should be
large. Prom the article we quote
the opinion seems to be that it is
large enough to supply the English
manufacturers with, most of the
4,000,000 bales they need.
This means something to the
American cotton grower and also to
the American cotton manufacturer,
South and North, for it means a
new cotton region as a competitor,
and means competition for the man
ufacturer. Heretofore the Sonth
has practically dominated the cot

alone grew the kind of cotton suit

Balkiqh, N. G, March 18 There
were two sessions of the 8enate to-day.
Tne morning session was taken up
eutirely by Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr.,
counsel for the defence, in masterful
argument of three hours outlining the
defence. Be maintained that the
prosecution must prove not only a
violation of the constitution in issuing
a mandamus upon tbe 8tate treasurer
but the violation must be shown to be
with willful intent He took the posi
tion that the amount due Tbeophilus
White for which a mandamus was
issued was not a claim against the
State, the suit being in reality on the
part of the 8tate to compel payment
of salary to an officer, the money aa a
peciflc appropriation being in the
baoda of Xhe treasurer for payment.
The doctrine thai office is property has,
he urged, stood for sixty years in North
Carolina.
Tola afternoon Chief Justice Furehes
went on the witness stand. He was
under cross examination when a recess
was taken at 6 o'clock. He bore him
self with great dignity. His direct
testimony was in justification of his
course on the bench. He testified that
in their rulings in office holding cases,
the court was not influenced by any
partisan bias, but solely by the law on
questions at issue. He said of a dosen
or more office holding cases pained
upon by the court they decided a large
majority in favor of Democratic par
ties to suits. The cross-examination
was by James H. Pou, Esq., and was
not characterized by any important
developments.

if a substitute be found for the
American cotton and that substitute
can be delivered at European mills
for a lower or even the same price the
European market will be closed to
American cotton. Then the Amer
ican grower must either find other
markets or he must reduce his crop
to meet the new conditions.
How long it may be before this
will happen can't be told now, but
as Englishmen are interested in it
the probabilitiesare that , they will
exert themselves and do all they
can to stimulate and encourage ex
pensive planting so they may the
sooner become independent of
America, from whose competition
they have been suffering for the
reason tnat the American had the
cheaper raw material and an un
limited supply of it. With Egyptian
cotton to take the place of the
American at - as flow or a lower
price the English manufacturer
will, as far as that goes, stand
jipon the tame plane as the Ameri
can, and then successful competition
will binge upon other things, such

Are you Clara f asktd the old gen
tleman. "Yes," was the answer.
"I am your father." he aaid, with
sob, and he was ushered in when Miss
Liu bert had recovered from the first
snooK.
The old man was trrestlv agitated
and sank in a faint into a chair, but
revivea, ana alter consultation with
tbe doctors waa permitted to see his
wife. The recognition was instanta
neous and as the two embraced tbe
household withdrew. The door was
shortly shoved open and, ashy white,
the father staggered into the hall
and sought the arms of the
puma as props. He rallied dur
ing the afternoon, but in the even
ing, wben he witnessed his wife'a
sufferings again, he collapsed and
was carried to a bed in a semi
unconscious condition. Later he
oecome totally unconscioua and never
revived. Friday be died and Satur
day with the greatest secrecy, be was
buried in a country cemetery nearly
ten miles out of town. There wss no
coffin used, but tbe children inaiated
on reviving an old Indian idea "of
wrapping (be body in rich linen and
rolling it in a beautiful shawl and
then resting it uppn a frame with
handles.
